"You're thinking about Miss Su? What are you thinking about Miss Su for? Have you fallen for Miss Su?" Rong Sheng's dark eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Rong Mu.
“If you really like Miss Su, then bring her back for your parents to see, and settle things as soon as possible. Your father isn’t the kind of person who cares about social status. As long as Miss Su doesn’t look down on you, your father will definitely not make things difficult for you.” Rong Dong’an said very seriously, his hands behind his back.
Ronghua also said, "Third brother, don't worry about your eldest and second brothers. They are useless and couldn't let our parents hold their grandchildren sooner, but you can. Seize the opportunity and don't let the girl wait in vain and leave in the end!"
Rong Mu: "...Father, elder brother, Sheng Bao, you're overthinking it. There's really nothing between me and Miss Su. Please don't misunderstand!"
"Oh, it's a misunderstanding!" Rong Sheng said seriously, "Father, since it's a misunderstanding, let's not think too much about it. It's getting late, let's get some rest! Tomorrow, after my eldest brother finishes helping Han Chan and her brother, he can go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Maybe he'll bump into Miss Su and my third brother together."
Ronghua nodded: "Don't worry, Shengbao, your big brother will definitely go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to take a look!"
Rong Dong'an said, "Take a look, then I'll be at ease!"
Rong Mu: "..." He was so bullied by his father, older brother, and Sheng Bao that he had no temper left. Rong Mu helplessly made a surrender gesture: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't bully me anymore, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
"Then speak!" Rong Dong'an and his two sons immediately sat down, adopting an attitude of listening attentively, looking at Rong Mu and waiting for him to speak.
Rong Mu sighed helplessly. These were his family members. If Tiger Brother had acted like this, Tiger Brother would have been beaten up long ago, and severely beaten up at that!
“Shengbao, you have to believe your third brother. Your third brother really has nothing to do with Miss Su.” Rong Mu explained again: “This morning, Shengbao, you gave me the medicine for Miss Su and asked me to give it to her. When I arrived at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I gave the medicine to Miss Su. Then I didn’t see Miss Su all day until I finished work. Miss Su went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to check on things. That’s when we met, and she saw what Shengbao asked me to do.”
Because that matter should not be exposed for the time being, Rong Mu kept it a secret. "After Miss Su found out, she helped us by introducing me to resources. That's why I was distracted when I got home. But I wasn't thinking about Miss Su herself, but about the person Miss Su took me to find and the surprise she brought me."
Calling it a surprise is one way to put it. But it's not exactly a huge surprise either. It's just that he really couldn't talk about that person with his father, so he could only be vague.
Rong Dong'an was very dissatisfied with Rong Mu's explanation. Even a fool could tell that Rong Mu and Rong Sheng, the two siblings, were definitely hiding something from them.
Seeing Rong Hua's puzzled attitude, it was likely that Rong Hua didn't know about their relationship either.
Rong Dong'an was unhappy, so he asked a few questions, but Rong Mu refused to say anything. Rong Sheng silently turned her head away, not saying anything about her relationship with Rong Mu.
"Father, don't ask Shengbao anymore. Shengbao won't tell you, and neither will I, because the time isn't right yet! When the time comes, I will tell you everything in detail!" Rong Mu compromised on this point.
Rong Dong'an narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the expression on Rong Mu's face, and then said, "Okay, but don't keep your father waiting too long. And that Miss Su, if you really like her, don't waste her youth. Marry her as soon as possible!"
"father!"
Rong Mu was helpless.
Although things were slightly different from what he said, Rong Mu was very grateful to Su Wenlan. Without Su Wenlan, the rouge and face powder that Sheng Bao made herself would not have sold so quickly.
At that time, Rong Mu got into Su Wenlan's carriage and kept his distance from her. It was the middle of the night, and a man and a woman were traveling alone. Even though it was night and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, they couldn't let anyone see them, otherwise Su Wenlan's reputation would be ruined.
Su Wenlan didn't say anything. Instead, she felt that Rong Mu had a strong sense of responsibility, so she didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, she told Rong Mu about the other person's situation.
Rong Mu immediately sat up straight, waiting for Su Wenlan to speak: "You know the richest man in Wenhong County, right?"
“I know! Song Yujie is about the same age as my father, but he is a business genius! But after I met Miss Su’s brother, Su Wenxian, I changed my mind! But there is no denying Song Yujie’s talent!” Rong Mu said.
Su Wenlan said, "That's right, it's Song Yujie! Song Yujie is a good businessman, but only in Wenhong County and a few nearby counties. He's too weak in other places! However, Song Yujie is a womanizer. He has taken countless concubines, but he is very respectful to his first wife. He has only had children with his first wife, and none of his other concubines have ever had children! But in recent years, Song Yujie and his wife's relationship has been getting worse and worse. Can you guess where the problem lies?"
"Face?" Su Wenlan brought him here just to sell cosmetics, right? It must be related to Song Yujie's wife's face!
“That’s right! It’s her face!” Su Wenlan continued, “Madam Song has some spots on her face. Her spots are different from mine. Some people say they are age spots and can’t be removed at all! But I don’t know if Miss Rong Sheng has any way to get rid of them? Because of the spots on her face, coupled with her age, Madam Song is getting older and uglier! So Song Yujie’s relationship with her is getting worse and worse, and as a result, she has more and more concubines in the family!”
However, after seeing the stunningly beautiful concubines in her household, Madam Song felt a sense of crisis. Their faces were young and beautiful, without any flaws, while her own face, though past her prime, was covered in wrinkles and dark spots. Especially after seeing that Song Yujie never visited her and she only saw him a few times a year, she finally realized that she had to fix her face, no matter what method she used.
However, neither medicine, acupuncture, nor the application of various expensive cosmetics could change her face; on the contrary, it made Song Yujie dislike her even more. Therefore, Madam Song now desperately needs your cosmetics. Whether good or bad, let's try them first. Even if Rong Sheng's cosmetics aren't good enough, it doesn't matter; Madam Song will buy them! There just won't be a next time!
Rong Mu frowned, his mind filled with complex emotions: "Are all wealthy families this chaotic?"
Suddenly, Rong Mu remembered the Qian family, who had tried to frame his father but ended up in trouble themselves. The Qian family was also in such a mess, and because it was so chaotic, they didn't even have a home anymore.
In a lifetime, after finally accumulating wealth and no longer having to struggle for a living, seeing one's family happy and content, why should one covet things or people that don't belong to them but which they have tried every means to obtain?
